Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1727 is different now

  In history, after the fall of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had no decent competitors in the north, so Cao Cao basically had no idea of ​​survival for Yuan Shao's three sons at that time, even though Cao Cao finally paid homage to Yuan Shao's grave and cried. However, it is different now.

  In order to annex Jizhou as soon as possible, Cao Cao could only choose Yuan Tan as a cover. Firstly, Yuan Tan is Yuan Shao's eldest son, so his name is justified, and secondly, only Yuan Tan is more suitable.

On the one hand, Cao Cao ordered people to block the Qishui and let it flow into Baigou, so as to facilitate the transfer of grain and grass; Yuan Tan, as the vanguard, approached Yecheng again.

  Yuan Shang was shocked.

In comparison, Yuan Shang was stronger in history, because most of Bingzhou belonged to Yuan Shao at that time. Yuan Shang not only controlled the center of Jizhou, but also obtained some food, grass and soldiers from the Shangdang area. It's pretty bad.

   But, it's different now.

When Yuan Shao conquered Feiqian, he lost part of it. In addition, Taiyuan and Shangdang are now in Feiqian's hands. Not only could Yuan Shang not be able to obtain resources from Shangdang, but he had to allocate some troops to defend at key passes. This coming and going, naturally, the strength is much lower than in history. Hearing that Yuan Tan came for the second attack, he couldn't help being a little flustered.

   "Where did the soldiers come from?" Yuan Shang asked, "Could it be that he coerced the young and strong and neglected the place? In this way, wouldn't Qingzhou be lightly allowed to others? It is an unforgivable crime to ruin Yuan's foundation!"

  Yuan Shang was very heartbroken. He thought that Yuan Tan had dragged out all his family fortunes and brought a wave of family members. This would naturally lead to the emptiness of the entire Qingzhou's power, and the result would definitely be cheaper for Lao Cao.

Feng Ji glanced at Yuan Shang, and sneered in his heart, destroying Yuan's foundation, you don't have to laugh at Yuan Boss, Yuan Laosan, they are all existences with a radius of eight taels, but right now, they can only follow Yuan Shang's path and continue to go down up. "If you are young and strong, you will be a Wuhe! The bandits of the Yellow Turban are also numbered in millions, and they will not be overthrown overnight! Come here this time, you can avoid their sharp edges, and when their army is tired, they can be determined with one blow, and they will never die." Get rid of future troubles!"

  Yuan Shang nodded, then looked at the judge, and asked, "What does Zhengnan think?"

  The examiner pondered, finally nodded, and said: "Return to my son, this strategy is also..."

Yuan Shang looked at Guo Tu again, and seeing Guo Tu silently nodded, he immediately felt relieved, and his smile reappeared: "Let's follow Yuan Tu's plan! Mob, even if there are millions, why should we be afraid?" Of! Ha, ha ha ha!"

  Yuan Shang seemed to put down his heavy burden, and then went back to the mansion, leaving Guo Tufengji and three people as the examiner and assistant, but they couldn't relax much. For Yuan Shang, he only thought of one aspect, but Jianpei and others suspected that the soldiers and horses that Yuan Tan attacked for the second time were not simply mobs.

  If it is really a temporary recruitment, then why didn't they come together at the first time? That way, on the one hand, there are some veterans in the hands, and it is convenient to control and supervise the battle. On the other hand, it will appear that there are many people and more momentum. Why is it necessary to refuel like now?

   So if it wasn't a temporary recruitment, where did it come from? Yuan Tan and Cao Cao join forces?

   Or is it Taishan Army?

The Taishan bandit army was weakened a lot in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and even caused many people to have little impression of the Taishan army, thinking that it was insignificant, but in fact, the Taishan army, as a local force, lasted until Cao Pi period.

  Because of the problems left over from Xuzhou and Qingzhou, Cao Cao adopted a gentle strategy towards the Taishan bandits from the beginning, and even gave Xuzhou herds to Zang Ba at one point, and another Taishan bandit force, Changxi, was named Donghai County Guard by Cao Cao. Cao Cao's arrangement completely handed over Qingzhou and Xuzhou to the Taishan bandit forces, which also led to Zang Ba and Chang Xi, although they were Cao Cao's subordinates in name, but in fact they were separatist forces with heavy troops in their hands.

Zang Ba still appeared on the battlefield when Wei Guo conquered Sun Quan, so it can be said that the Taishan Army is actually a local separatist force that has existed for a very long time. ignore its existence.

Because Yuan Tan fought in Qingzhou before, in addition to facing Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, he also faced Zang Ba's Taishan Army, so if Yuan Tan recruited foreign aid, it would be either Cao Jun, Zang Ba's Taishan Army, or even Taishan Army The possibility is even higher, after all, it is an army composed of thieves who recognize money but not people...

  Of course, it does not rule out that Yuan Tan himself was careless at first, thinking that the soldiers and horses he brought with him at the beginning were enough, and then lost his temper and became desperate...

  So, what kind of situation is, the three people including the judge and match have no idea.

   It's just a strategy to meet the discipline, it is to seek victory in stability, and it is also a relatively safe strategy at present. It is indeed unwise to lead troops into battle under unknown circumstances and give up the advantage of city defense. Therefore, Shenpei and Guo Tu did not talk to Yuan Shangming about the second more complicated situation, but only indicated that Fengji's strategy was feasible.

  The three of them looked at each other, and they didn't have any intention of chatting. They cupped their hands and said goodbye to each other. Auditors go to inspect the city defense, Fengji goes to handle government affairs, and Guo Tu goes to prepare logistics, each has its own arrangements. It’s funny to say that during Yuan Shao’s time, the three of them used to fight openly and secretly, and they would cheat each other from time to time, but now they cooperate perfectly and are smooth and efficient. I don’t know if Yuan Shao will be happy or not if he knows this situation under Jiuquan. will be sad.

  …(╯￣Д￣)╯π__π…

  Yuan Tan strikes again, and it's not just Guo Tu and others who are distressed...

   "It's different now!" Wang Ming glared at Cai Yu viciously, wishing he could slap him against the wall, "I told you to leave earlier, and I insisted on procrastinating, now it's all right! The city is closed again!"

Wang Ming, as an official in charge of farming, is not necessarily expensive, but it must be clear, so after the autumn harvest and farming are done, he basically has entered his leisure time, even if he rests at home and sleeps every day, No one dared to say anything gossip.

  After all, it was unreasonable to spend all day in the field during the busy farming season, and now rest during the slack season?

Seeing Yuan Shao's death seems to be very bad, Wang Ming originally planned to take advantage of the slack and leave when no one is paying attention, but after all this time, he and Cai Yu are more or less squatting in the same trench Feelings, so I felt that if I slipped away without notifying Cai Yu, it would be somewhat unkind, so I also contacted Cai Yu.

In the end, Cai Yu also agreed to find an opportunity to escape, but on the one hand, Cai Yu may have too many things to deliver, and on the other hand, it may be that he and some people in the inner palace who lack love have too many emotions to communicate with for a while. Letting go caused a delay in time. There was a gap when Yuan Tan withdrew, but he missed it.

Cai Yu accompanied him with a smile: "Brother Wang! Brother Wang! Calm down, calm down... This, I didn't think about it... The boss of the Yuan family couldn't attack last time, and I'm afraid he won't be able to attack this time either. It's okay to go again..."

"This time is different!" Wang Ming waved his hands angrily, and said, "Didn't there be any casualties when we defended the city last time? Now there is another battle, can you make sure that we don't need you and me to defend the city? What if we really arrive at the city?" On the pool, swords and guns have no eyes!"

  Cai Yu said with a smile: "Brother Wang, who would be willing to... er..." Cai Yu's expression changed a lot when he was halfway through speaking.

  Yes, as an official who can increase food production, normally he would not be allowed to fight with a knife and gun, but if it is said that there is no hope for one's own side, then who can care so much? He can do everything he can, so who cares about whom?

  Of course Cai Yu's risk is greater. If he wants to defend the city wall, he must be ahead of Wang Ming.

"Do you think no one knows what you did? Someone must know. It's just to save face..." Wang Ming sneered. Here comes the knife!" Although it is said that the Han Dynasty was not as perverted as the Confucianists in the later generations regarding chastity, it does not mean that they did not care at all, and Cai Yu did this kind of thing not once or twice, a day or two, Where is there an impenetrable wall?

  Cai Yu's face suddenly turned pale, "Brother Wang, save me!"

   "How can I save it?" Wang Ming looked at Cai Yu bitterly, "I told you to go with me earlier, and I insisted on staying with you! Now you say, I'm a soft-spoken person, how can I save you?"

  Cai Yu was also speechless. The main reason is that Cai Yu just developed a young and beautiful little widow before, and only unlocked a few poses. It was the time when the adultery was hot, and he would leave wherever he was willing to pull his dick. I thought it would be fine after a few days. coming back soon...

   Both of them were at a loss.

  …(﹁)(д.)…

   "Siege?"

  Yuan Tan heard about such a plan from Xia Houyuan.

  The current army is said to be led by Yuan Tan, but in fact it is better to say that Cao Jun is the leader.

   "There is a saying in the art of war, surround it with ten..." Yuan Tan said with some hesitation, "Now... how can we surround it?"

  Xia Houyuan looked at Yuan Tan coldly, and said very bluntly: "Someone came to inform you, not to discuss with you!"

  Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "I know!"

The soldiers and horses under the banner of Yuan Tan arrived near Yecheng, and began to carry out major repairs outside Yecheng. Such a move naturally attracted the attention of the defenders of Yecheng, and the judges drove down the city gate immediately. Upstairs, frowning and watching from afar.

  The sky has just become clear, and in sight, many people have already dug. The excavated soil is put into bags on the spot, and then piled up layer by layer, forming a circle of small walls.

Outside of Yecheng, it seemed that a huge construction site had become overnight, crowded with people, and the sound of horns came one after another. Figures were swimming in the morning light, like fish in the water, in a hurry, but there was some order .

One or two teams of soldiers stood on a high place, seeming to be looking at the terrain, and some soldiers were commanding from the ground, ordering loudly to make these diggers move faster, as if they were not worried about the people in Yecheng. It's like people rushing out.

   "This is..." Yuan Shang heard the news, and hurried to the top of the city, looked down from the battlements, and said somewhat puzzled, "What is this for?"

The judge frowned slightly, not because of Yuan Shang's stupid question, anyway, it was not the first time he had encountered such a problem with Yuan Shang, but because Yuan Shang was still tainted with a strong scent of powder and some messy other smells , obviously just crawled out of the gentle nest...

  Although it is not necessary to say that you must hold back for three years, do you have to put on a show in the early stage? If you do this, you are not afraid that your father's coffin will not be able to cover it?

  Shen Pei secretly sighed in his heart, and then said: "Return to my son, seeing this posture, I want to dig a trench to encircle the city..."

   "Dig trenches to besiege the city?" Yuan Shang repeated.

   I have to say that the Chinese nation is still second to none in terms of repairing the earth. Although the scene looked a bit chaotic, it was actually not the case. After a while, the general prototype came out, and some chariots and horses dragged some newly felled wood, as if to build a watchtower or sentry tower. It looked like this, and began to smash and tamp the ground one after another.

  Some people dragged Jumaluzhai to stand in the original road, and tied them together with iron chains. Some archers stood behind, looking towards Yecheng to guard.

   "Why don't you send troops to attack it?!" Yuan Shang looked at the unscrupulous construction under the city, and his heart was a little angry. It's like a holiday in later generations. After finally tossing around with Xiaojiaoniang all night, and then being woken up by the sound of electric drills for decoration early in the morning, I really have the heart to go upstairs and kill people immediately.

   "My lord, please take a look..." The judge pointed his hand.

   It is a normal move to rush in front of the battle and test the truth, but since Yuan Shang can think of such a method, does it mean that Yuan Tan will be defenseless?

  The reviewer has been inspecting the formula all the time, and finally found that there seems to be something abnormal on the west mountain side of Yecheng. Among the mountain bushes, there seemed to be some cold light shining. These cold lights are naturally not the color of the original forest trees, they must be ambushes. Once Yuan Shang opens the door to attack, these men and horses will definitely rush out to **** the city gate.

  Yuan Shang stared at it for a while, and also realized this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Can't we just let it come and go?

The examiner suddenly thought of something, he burst out laughing, and said, "Young master, look, how can you surround yourself with such a force? Digging a trench vertically is shallow, so how can it be used? This is a strategy to lure the enemy!" Want to lure the army out of the city, and then the soldiers and horses will gather together to take the opportunity to seize the city! Let's see if someone breaks it!"
